Want to experience fine alcohol but prefer a slightly more neighborhood option? The local wine bar, which residents of the Rechavia neighborhood call simply "wine bar," offers an intimate and compact boutique experience similar to the bars you can usually find in the alleys of European capital cities.

On the (huge) menu, you will find a variety of wines from countries such as Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Chile, and more. Beyond the categories of red or white wines, you will also find a menu of rosés and sparkling wines and a selection of dishes suitable for couples, such as the aperitif plate for tasting. Ask the staff which foods go well with the wines, and enjoy yourself in one of the most chic places in Jerusalem.

Open on Shabbat ▪️ Not Kosher

Notable features include:

• Pleasant and lively neighborhood atmosphere, but not in a way that would interfere with a date
• A truly unparalleled selection of wines offers a unique and exclusive experience that is hard to compete with.
